TI  - Abnormal extraosseous activity in both lungs and stomach in pre-transplant 
      99mTc-MDP bone scan disappearing after renal transplant.

AB  - A chronic kidney disease male patient presenting with bone pains, fever, 
      weakness, and clinically ascites was subjected to four technetium-99m-methylene 
      diphosphonate (Tc99m-MDP) bone scans, two before renal transplant and two after 
      renal transplants. Pretransplant bone scan revealed metabolic bone disease with 
      focal insufficiency fractures. Marked extraosseous activity in both lungs and 
      stomach was also visualized. On regular hemodialysis (HD) after 4 months, repeat 
      pretransplant bone scan showed persistent uptake in lungs and stomach, 
      representing altered calcium metabolism with microcalcifications. He underwent 
      human leukocyte antigen (HLA) matched live donor renal transplantation, started 
      on immune-suppression and steroids. Posttransplant bone scan at 20 days revealed 
      no definite interval change, but bone scan performed approximately 17 months 
      posttransplant showed resolving metabolic bone disease and the tracer uptake in 
      the lungs and stomach was no more visualized. Patient clinically followed-up 
      until the date (February 2013) is asymptomatic with serum creatinine of 1.5 
      mg/dl, no bone scan done.
